Ed, I’m calling about Kathy and her stuffed animals. I have grandchildren and a 3-year-old son, and I’d like to have these animals to decorate their bedrooms. I’d like to reach Kathy.

Hands out

I had suggested Kathy look into giving them to the cops who use these stuffed animals to comfort kids in traumatic situations, or to donate them to a local hospital’s children’s ward. But you want them for your kids? How about NO! Think beyond your kids’ bedrooms.
